    I must have walked past these tiles hundreds of times at South Station and never noticed this. In my defense it’s very low and behind a railing. ~There is no placard or anything explaining what it is.~ There is, in fact, a plaque (see follow-up post). #Boston #MBTA

      @jsit I believe on the right is Charlie's wife and the left is Charlie and the thing in the center is his lunch being thrown through the window of the train.

        @jsit damn. I didn't look either. It's amazing what we see every day, but don't see, at all.

                Very hidden. Maybe too hidden?

                  @callan @jsit More likely something like a theodolite. They are mermaids surveying the land. Meaning to symbolize the hidden work women have done for the transportation network: https://www.nitscheng.com/wts-boston-unveils-public-art-celebrating-women-in-transportation/

                  @Schouten_B @callan @jsit Yes. At first I thought it was mermaids holding a compass (drawing tool).
